We announced something super exciting in February! We've spent the last two years talking to our customers about what they wanted (and equally as important, what they didn't want) out of their mortgage point-of-sale, and LiteSpeed is what came out of those conversations.

New Product Announcement 📱

✅ Built by mortgage bankers instead of Silicon Valley
✅ A true POS instead of a second LOS
✅ CFO-friendly pricing instead of eye-watering renewal invoices

Credit to Jeff, our lead engineer that brought this to life, and the entire LenderLogix team for consistently delivering tech that loan officers actually want to use!

 

 

Let's chat if you're an Encompass® user looking to provide potential borrowers with a beautiful, seamless front-end experience.

A Couple of Proud Fintech Moments 🏆

Cue the CELEBRATION! 🎉 We’re pleased to announce our inclusion on HousingWire's annual Tech100 list of the top fintech companies in the mortgage industry. Our product suite is built for everyday loan officers by former loan officers. So we know the difference between the technology you actually need and the technology that slows you down. Check out the complete list of winners here.

We're also excited to announce that we have been recognized for launching one of the top industry innovations last year at PROGRESS in Lending's 13th Annual Innovations Awards event. Though we just formally introduced LiteSpeed to the market, we saw significant success with several lenders during a soft rollout in the second half of last year. We're honored for this recognition and couldn't be more excited to see how LiteSpeed continues to evolve.

Market Shifts & Innovation 📈

Ready for this market to turn around already? We are too. The good news is that the MBA predicts a pretty healthy rebound in Q2 of this year. While they are not suggesting a return to 2021 figures, the outlook certainly gives us reason to look forward to the spring buying season. The question is - are you planning now on how to leverage technology best to get the absolute most out of the opportunity when the time comes? 

A recent HousingWire article suggests LOs have been slow to adopt technology over the last couple of years primarily because of competing priorities… hmm, write more loans today or learn about a software program? I certainly can’t blame anyone for making hay while the sun shines. However, with the market slowdown, now really is the perfect time to take a look at the technology at your fingertips and leverage it to get the most out of the expected uptick in business ahead. 

If you have tools like QuickQual and Digital Business Cards at your disposal but have yet to use them to their fullest extent - now is the time! Contact us at LenderLogix and set up a training session or even a quick refresher. We are happy to coach you on how to best use our tech to shake off the last 6 months and create a healthier pipeline in the months ahead!

An AI Revolution to Watch 🤖

ChatGPT has been in the news quite a bit recently and now Microsoft is integrating this technology into their Bing search engine. This also-ran search engine is getting new life with this novel technology.  

There’s one problem so far - the Bing chats are taking some strange turns and becoming belligerent with the beta users. This may be AI’s first sign of revolt against us humans! If you’d like to join the list for early access to the new Bing, you can sign up here and try out a few searches while you wait for your access.
